Strato Pi is an expansion board developed by Sfera Labs for the Raspberry Pi computer board.

Strato Pi

Strato Pi implements a number of hardware features to expand the Pi and allow its use in professional applications:

  • 9-28 Vdc extended-range power supply
  • integrated UPS with external NiCd rechargeable battery
  • real-time clock with dedicated back-up battery
  • opto-isolated RS-232 or RS-485 serial port
  • configurable hardware watchdog
  • buzzer for audible feedback.


HSYCO Configuration

Add a STRATO I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set its parameters.

Note that the Strato I/O Server doesn't count in the I/O servers license total, so you don't need an extra I/O Server license to use Strato with HSYCO.


High Availability

  • Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.

Options

ID Default Values Description
watchdog false true enables the hardware watchdog and automatically generates the heartbeat signal
false disables the hardware watchdog
shutdown_minutes 0 0 no automatic shutdown after power failure
int > 0 the driver will command the operating system shutdown and hardware power off after N minutes of back-up battery operations during a power failure.

The Strato board will automatically power-up the Pi when power is restored

quiet false true enables audible alarms on power failure
false disables audible alarms on power failure

Datapoints

For inputs 1 to 4, depending on the 'input1' ... 'input4' options, only the corresponding datapoint will be created, i.e. di<n> (if digital), av<n> (if voltage) or ai<n> (if curent).

ID Value R/W Description
connection online R connection established
offline R HSYCO can't connect to the device
do<n> 0 R relay <n> (digital output) is off
W switch off relay <n>
1 R relay <n> (digital output) is on
W switch on relay <n>
di<n> 0 R digital input <n> is low
1 R digital input <n> is high
av<n> <val> R analog input <n> is reading a voltage equal to <val> (in Volts)
ai<n> <val> R analog input <n> is reading a current equal to <val> (in mA)
ao1 <val> W set the analog output to <val> Volts

User Interface

To control a digital output (DO1 ... DO6), add a button or a buttonicon object to your project page and set its address field to the corresponding datapoint:
